Changing Snow Tires at Home Fast 

Yeah it’s a good tip, I go slow at first but often I will start em by hand when not moving as fast as in this video.

Shockingly rookie move on his part.

Thanks for the input, I am careful not to let the lube on the rotors and have never had an issue in doing this for about 10 years. But it's no surprise to me that you don't want any lube on them. I generally tighten first across then around, maybe that's not clear in this clip. I'll go around lightly then tighten fully in opposite pattern. Interesting that the weight can damage the studs. I put the E break on which seems to suffice but i'm sure blocking would be better.

I reread your comment - i only back the studs off slightly so the threads seem quite protected as a result, because the stud keeps the hub from impacting them except the very inner most one perhaps.

- Lubricants will burn or wash away over time as a properly functioning pad will always be in slight contact with a rotor to protect from debris and will work away any lubricant. - The wheel partially supported from the ground will not damage the threads on the stud when bumped loose. - The rule of tightening opposing nuts lowers the risk of tightening a wheel not properly seated and is wedged. Tightening in a circular pattern has no negative risk in itself when the risk of tightening an improperly seated wheel is paid attention to and avoided. The lubricant idea for inside the wheel is an old trick I still use for my truck. I use Jig-a-loo, it's a water repellent and the coating lasts a good while, snow doesn't stick. I've heard of people rubbing paste wax on their wheels and tires, both as a rubber preservative and a non-stick surface for dirt and snow.

I generally do, circularly it's light, then tighter across from each other.
